You’re basically asking how safe would America be without a certain demographic of people.

If you come up with a better system, let me know.

The crime rate for white America rivals that of Scandinavia.

I often wonder this for Louisiana. Instead of being last in every category we would be around 25.

And I told you why they were different.

And you tried to argue with me about it.

They're using the same methodology.

Christ, son.

How safe would America be if slavery hadn’t happened & blacks had not been mired in a cycle of generational poverty ?

K.

Well, dealing with Bronc's BS was enough for one day.

Have fun.

What I didn't see discussed is the incidence of reported crimes.
Somebody knocks down a mailbox: it gets reported in small towns, in large cities would anyone even call the police?
Slashed tires?
Landscaping stolen from a yard?

The "police won't come out/investigate/give you a case number for less than _____________fill in the blank, is going to have a major effect on crime reporting.

If the police won’t come out or the DA won’t press charges, people stop calling.

The actual theft rate in California is a lot damn higher than the reported one because state law made it damn near impossible to prosecute shoplifters.

FFS.
